Anyone can answer, but I'm specifically looking for a Christian perspective (that's why I put it in R&S). Thanks!

Okay, so, my friend asks me for advice and stuff a lot, and I'm always willing to sacrifice my time, because I like helping him. That's what friends are for, you know? But one day, after I'd texted him so long the night before to help, and only got like 5 hrs of sleep (i had to work in the morning), he texted me and said that he would rather we just forget about what we'd been talking about, because it was embarassing and stuff. I didn't know what to say, but I said okay, because I didn't want to hurt him or anything. He said he was still grateful for the advice, but it doesn't really seem like it to me.

Before you all tell me to forgive him (because that's probably what I would tell someone else), I've been praying about this a lot, and totally realize that I probably treat God like that sometimes, so I shouldn't be too mad at my friend for doing it to me. I've been praying for God to help me forgive him, and I'm getting there, but it still hurts a lot.

I don't think he realizes it... I've seen him a lot at church and stuff since then, and everything has been pretty normal. Even though I'm in so much pain inside while I'm talking to him, I act completely normal, because I really don't want to hurt him. He probably didn't mean to hurt me... I don't know if I should tell him or just keep ignoring it. Advice?

Also, he hasn't texted me for advice since. I'm not sure if it's because he's embarassed of it,( like he told me before), or because his life's been going great (I don't think that's the case), or because he's getting the advice he needs from someone else (totally okay), or because of something else... If he asks for advice again, what should I do? I don't really want to put myself out there just to get hurt again, but I also don't want to hurt him by telling him I don't want to give him advice. Help?

Thanks so much!

I'm a setter on my high school volleyball team, and I was wondering how to improve my sets. I need to have "softer" hands... Any tips from other setters or coaches? Thanks.
